Tune in to learn how to tell when you have an unspoken goal, examples of how this shows up in business and what to do about it.

For most perfectionists, it feels reckless or even harmful to publish ‘imperfect’ work unless a last minute deadline forces our hand. Whether it’s a piece of content, a client deliverable, a sales page, a piece of art or just about anything else. We don’t want to let go of it until it feels ready. And by ready, we mean perfect. But this comes at a great cost to our business and to ourselves. We’re exhausted, we’re dependent on external deadlines and pressure to keep us motivated and we don’t get enough practice to become insanely good at what we do. We don’t make sales, we don’t help people and we don’t get to show ourselves what we’re capable of. All because the emotional piece is missing. I have built a successful business because I have created the emotional capacity to publish ‘imperfect’ work. I let my ideas meet reality before they feel perfect to my perfectionist brain. And I emotionally allow myself to have imperfect work out in the world. I wouldn’t be at almost 500 episodes and 3 million downloads of this podcast if that wasn’t the case. Creating the emotional capacity to publish ‘imperfect’ work is something that anyone can learn. I know because I wasn’t this way when I first started my business. So today I’m going to help you develop this emotional capacity too. Tune in to learn the real reasons why you struggle to hit publish, the perfectionist thought errors that make perfectly good work feel incredibly flawed and the practical things you can do to create the emotional capacity to put your work out into the world.

Successful entrepreneurs rarely overthink. So in today’s episode of The Perfectionism Project, I’m sharing why perfectionists overthink, the hidden costs that overthinking is having on your business and the proven path to stopping overthinking. Overthinking isn’t just frustrating - it’s stopping your business from growing. But that doesn’t mean you need to beat yourself up for overthinking. Instead all you need to do is understand why it makes sense for your perfectionist brain to overthink things like social media content, your niche and your email newsletter. And then to start using the practical tools that will actually help you overthink far less. And that’s what I’m sharing in today’s episode.

Yesterday I recorded this raw and real business update. I’m sharing 8 lessons I’ve learned from the last 18 months in business. It has been TOUGH and it’s also been exactly what I needed in so many ways (even though I wish it wasn’t). In this episode I share so many things that I’ve wanted to share but have been too embarrassed and ashamed about. I’ve felt like I couldn’t share my struggles the same way I did in the past because I should have ‘figured it out’ by now. This is definitely not a helpful thought nor is it true. And it’s stopped me from creating my favourite content - honest behind the scenes updates about the work I’m doing on my business and my own perfectionism. So I’m returning to what I love doing and trusting that I don’t need to be perfect in order to be perfectly helpful. The 1st of July is a new chapter for me and my business. So this episode recaps the lessons and wins from the last 18 months so I can powerfully move on. And so that you can too if you’ve been making some of the mistakes that I have or carrying similar shame. I’m so excited for those who have already decided to start a new chapter by joining our 12 Week Power Planning Challenge. (If you haven’t joined us yet, you’ve only got a few hours left to sign up). I love the energy of a fresh start without dismissing all of the progress I’ve made and wisdom I’ve gained. I’m so much more skilled and mature as a business owner than I ever have been.

Eliška already had a 7 figure jewellery business when signed up for Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. But she was EXHAUSTED. And there was no extra time for anything else. Her dreams of starting a coaching business had been on the backburner for years. And having a second child felt like too much to handle. Fast forward to today and Eliška has two successful businesses and is 8 months pregnant with baby number two. Thanks to her success, her husband was able to quit his job as a CEO to be at home with the kids. Power Planning allowed Eliška to simplify everything she was doing and find time for more. That means more time with her family, more connection with her husband and more business success too. Once Eliška got her perfectionist mindset working for her instead of against her, making space for what matters became easy. This is why Power Planning works for entrepreneurs at all levels of income. When your perfectionist mindset is on your side, your business grows no matter what stage you’re at. In today’s episode, Eliška shares her experiences with perfectionism, Power Planning and PGSD. We talk about: The incredible impact that PGSD has had on her businesses and her family life Why Power Planning improved her relationship with her husband How Eliška stays productive even when her son is home sick How to use the PGSD Private Podcast to get all of the coaching you need Eliška’s thoughts if you’re on the fence about signing up for PGSD Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode374.

Welcome to Part 5 of my 5-part Follow Through Series. A series to help you release your perfectionism handbrake and consistently follow through with your plans without burning yourself out. It’s one thing to intellectually understand how to follow through with your plans - it’s another thing to *actually* do it.

Knowing your true Needle Movers is the secret to making more progress in less time - and being able to mentally switch off too.

You’ll learn how to identify which one you have and what to do to actually solve for it. And in case you genuinely have all of those problems - say you literally don’t have enough knowledge, time, money, energy and courage to build your business the way you want - you’ll learn how to prioritise these problems so you can find a solution for all of them. When it comes to business, we often invest a lot of time, money and energy into solving the wrong problem. We end up getting so frustrated and feeling so ashamed because we feel like there's something wrong with us that we aren't making more progress. If you can relate to that, listening to this episode is going to give you so much relief. Knowing what problem you have and how to actually solve it is going to help you make sure you invest your time, money and energy into what you need the most. I also share the mistakes and failures I’ve had along the way so that you can learn from my experience rather than learning the hard way. This episode is an important one for all perfectionist entrepreneurs as well as those who want to become entrepreneurs in the future.
